Hi Jamie, thanks for your question! Typically, as long as you sent out a save the date and you have a wedding website with more information, there's no need to distribute the actual invitations that early. Really, the invitations are just reiterating everything that's already on the save the dates and on the website. However, it's your wedding, and if you think that more people will come if they receive their invitations at 6 months, then I say go for it!
